This is kind of embarrassing but...I think about other online aspies and their comments and issues even when I am not online.

> I can hear every conversation going on in a room but have trouble focusing in on one, unless there is only one conversation then i can hear it from very far away (great eavesdropper)

> I am pretty good at giving speeches(i get to talk about my obsessions without giving anyone else a chance to talk) if i have somthing blocking my body, but am hopless in one on one coversations(when i have to let the other person talk)

> I watch ants, and other types of insects and bugs, just for the fun of it... i also enjoy watching yo-yos, seeing fans spin and watching wheels spin. Gears turning are also very entertaining

>if i am interested i n something, almost nothing can distract me

>i play on the swivel chairs at work

>and i enjoy spinning around in circles, jumping, and running around.

>more later

I am glad i am not alone, i was not sure if this was an aspie thing.

I sort of love to eavesdrop.. Except that I can focus in on one in particular pretty well except it takes all of my concentration.. I tend to do this when im eating out.. which annoys people I'm with since i look like i've spaced out..
It helps to focus on something though since i tend to hear everything from ketchup squirting to silverware clinking to random bits of everyone's conversations.. I usually find it easier and more interesting to focus on other people's conversations then the ones at the table..

i do that, too. its fun and people are used to me spacing out. i did it on the beach the other day, some woman was telling her daughter why she shouldn't take off her swimsuit... i was just seeing how far away i can hear things. the answer: pretty far

I do that with ALL the forums I visit, actually.

Sometimes, I replay conversations in my head over and over

same

I replay conversations in my head to analyze whether or not I have made an error in social interaction. When I perceive that I have made a goof I feel a sense of acute embarrassment that eats away at me until, over a period of time, I finally forget about the incident.

For a month (now I think it's gone) I would get little spazzes once in a while. Just due to being imbalanced inside or something; I never had that before except for the once-every-6-months-or-a-year spasm that every person gets.

- I somtimes talk too loud, especially when I'm excited
- i tend to talk to someone to the point i've bored them senseless
- I dont like to be hugged unless I have warning
- When I'm watching a dvd or playing a video game I find it Very hard to talk to someone/answer a question
- I dont watch one dvd, I'll watch 3, making myself tired for the next day
- I dont play a video game for an hour or two, I play it for 4-6 hours, somtimes more
- I jig my leg when I'm sitting down somtimes
- Somtimes when I say somthing I'll mouth it to myself
- Now and then, for no reason at all, I'll calculate maths in my thoughts

I cant think of anymore at the moment

Not all of these are 100% AS I Know NTs who do some of these as well, but these can be seen as traits

I sometimes enjoy spinning in my chair at home. I have enjoyed this since I was little.

Im very picky when it comes to clothing.
I only feel comfortable when im listening to my music, otherwise i get agitated. (i bring headphones wherever i go)
I am completely random... from actions to conversation to moods.
Im constantly tapping on something, really helped when i got a pair of drumsticks and a practice pad.

The first thing I really did this morning was go on WP.

Whoops! Was trying to start a new thread but posted here by accident. Sorry!
